Wait for the Lord and Gain Strength....and JOY


Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Take your time! There’s no need to be impatient!

            Like little children lining up for a treat, most of us are impatient when it comes to receiving God’s blessings!  We pray…and then we want an answer immediately…or at the least, very soon!  Well, God doesn’t always work on our time schedule. He often makes us wait, because He loves us and His timing is so much better than ours. He knows what is best for us!

            Isaiah 40:31 says: “Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.”

            Is there something you’ve been praying about, asking God to give you and you are getting impatient that He’s not answering in the way you think he should?  We must be very careful not to fall into the trap of “making things happen”…manipulating our circumstances to make things work out “our” way.  Joyce Meyer writes, “There are multitudes of unhappy, unfulfilled Christians in the world simply because they are busy trying to make something happen, instead of waiting patiently for God to bring things to pass in His own time and His own way.

            In order to “wait for the Lord”, we must humble ourselves before Him, accepting His plan and His joyfully perfect timetable. 

            Let’s wait on the Lord so that in His perfect time HE may pour out His JOY JUICE into our lives as His will comes to pass.
